Media Reviews
If you want to help, you should read Serious Whitefella Stuff.' - Noel Pearson 'This book reminds us that the dance between policy and practice is an awkward one, and that change is tough to achieve and sustain. Mark Moran and his colleagues offer both chastening experiences and some pointers to how more systemic change could happen.'-Tim Costello
